    摘要: An automatic tensioning system for strengthening a beam, a slab and a column by a pre-stressed FRP plate comprises a tensioning end anchor (1), a fixed end anchor (10), and a tensioning bracket (3) connected to the tensioning end anchor (1). A centre-hole jack (16) is provided in the middle of the tensioning bracket (3), a threaded rod (8) passes through the tensioning bracket (3) and is then connected to the centre-hole jack (16), and an upper toothed nut (13) and a lower toothed nut (19) respectively driven by a driving mechanism are provided on two sides of the tensioning bracket (3) on the threaded rod (8). A binary clip-type fixture (4) is further comprised, an upper surface thereof is provided with a cylinder (6), and a sleeve (7) nested outside the cylinder (6) is connected to the threaded rod (8).

    摘要: A steel-fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material reinforced concrete column comprises an inner steel pipe arranged in the center, wherein the inner steel pipe is internally provided with an unbonded steel strand; the outside of the inner steel pipe is provided with an outer steel pipe, concrete is poured between the inner steel pipe and the outer steel pipe, a plurality of additional small steel pipes are evenly arranged outside the outer steel pipe, and each of the additional small steel pipes is internally provided with an additional unbonded steel strand. A composite bar cage coaxial with the outer steel pipe and arranged on the outside thereof is also provided, wherein both the outer steel pipe and the composite bar cage are covered by high-ductility concrete, and at a core area, the outside of the high-ductility concrete is wrapped with an anti-spalling layer.

    摘要: An integral reinforcement design method of an external frame-brace based on a random capability spectrum is provided, and the reinforcement design method includes: evaluating an original structure before reinforcement by using a random capability spectrum method; performing a reinforcement analysis on an external frame-brace sub structure by using the random capability spectrum method to obtain a reinforced structure; and performing a reinforcement verification on the reinforced structure by using the random capability spectrum method. A performance based integral reinforcement design of the external frame-brace sub structure is achieved through considering uncertain factors, as well as capability spectrums and demand spectrums before and after the reinforcement, and converting the integral structure to equivalent single degree of freedom to obtain performance points.
